Port Hueneme may require permits for removing certain trees, particularly those in the public right-of-way or within the Coastal Zone. Street trees are city property and cannot be removed without authorization.
Street trees in Port Hueneme are managed by the City and cannot be removed, topped, or significantly pruned without City authorization. Private tree removal may require permits depending on tree size, species, and location within the Coastal Zone. Trees within the Coastal Zone may need Coastal Development Permit review if removal affects coastal resources or visual quality. California Civil Code provides property owners the right to remove trees on their own property but local ordinances may impose additional requirements. Dead, dying, or hazardous trees may be exempt from permit requirements upon verification.
Removing street trees without authorization is a code violation with potential restitution costs. Removing protected trees in the Coastal Zone without CDP review may trigger Coastal Commission enforcement.
